His magnetic carmine eyes widen at my words. Pain dances on every sharp feature of his face.

"I can’t promise you that. Literally. I am a time bomb ready to explode and I just hope you don’t get caught in the crossfire."

Not him but his words terrify me. My magic screams inside me, desperate to reach out and engulf him in a protective layer.

"You can’t hurt me. I know this, and I am going to help you learn self-control so you won’t hurt others, too."

Leaning closer, I embrace him, my head level with his chest. His body is so cold and rigid. He doesn’t get many hugs, I can imagine.

Placing my ear on his erratically beating heart, I whisper, "Remember my face whenever you feel that rage or blood lust coursing through you. Just remember me smiling, Rigel. Can you do that?"

My hands slowly rub his rigid back. The tight cords there slowly unwound under my caress.

His large hands go around me and he just crushes me to him, as if unable to get enough of my warmth. Every contour of his hard body I feel.

"Mhmm!"

Slowly his hand climbs up to my neck, cold fingers pry away my hair. The tip of his nose rubs the valley between my shoulder and neck.

Crawling towards my cheek until he reaches my lips. His long fingers come to rest under my chin, lifting my face up.

Cold and yet soothing his touch is.

"Do you trust me?" He asks, searching my eyes.

"Yes!" I don’t even think when my lips move, answering him.

A slow smile curls on his lips, and an insatiable hunger descends in his eyes.

"I am going to bind you to this pillar, own your lips and then drink your blood from the place of my choosing."

A wave of excitement I shouldn’t even be experiencing runs through me at his words, settling in my gut. My legs clench together. The more my defences drop around him, the more he creeps into my heart.

Rigel holds both my wrists with his right hand and pins them against the wooden pillar.

A part of his shadow breaks loose like a long slithering snake and binds itself against my wrists. The feeling is so invasive, so cold and yet not repulsive at all. My head lifts watching them, flowing against my skin like some dark matter.

It’s similar to when Alnilam had bound me with hair. I wriggle my wrists and his shadows just tickle me in return instead of hurting like they had done with Kacir and Rahria.

"They won’t hurt you." His voice comes like a cold whisper, settling in my bones. I gulp and shift my gaze towards him.

He is watching me as if ready to devour his favourite snack.

"Let’s get that blood pumping in your body. The more excited you are, the more delicious that sweet blood of yours is going to be."

My chest goes heavy, and my legs turn to jelly at the insinuation of what he is going to do to me.

Moving his long, slender leg, he lands his foot between mine and pushes. Left then right. Opening my legs until they are a foot apart.

"You are like a tiny particle and yet full of so much energy and vibrance. I am going to call you Sundust from now onwards. My Sundust." Like a dark velvet, his possessive words shroud every inch of me.

Sundust!!! I love the sound of this name.

Before I can even respond he bends his leg at the knee and shoves it against the softness between my legs.

My words die on my lips and the moan that builds up is swallowed by his hungry lips that land on mine.

Soft. Wet. Hungry. Ravenous.

And I want them to devour me. My body jerks from the sensations of the soft movement of his lips against mine and the rubbing of his knee against my clit.

Instant warmth hits my belly. It feels so fucking good, this all can’t be an illusion. No one besides my mates can make me feel this desperate.

Magic and blood rush in my veins as my heart rate elevates. Rigel doesn’t stop exploring my mouth with a fervour that has me shaking. His hands land on the front of my buttoned-up shirt and he begins to slowly unfasten.

His coarse tongue swiftly wriggles inside my mouth and touches the soft roof of my mouth, rubbing against it.

My heart pounds so loudly as wetness drips down between my legs. I would definitely need to use a washroom before I can get popcorn and return to the game.

Like a wintery caress, his fingers touch the upper swells of my breasts while he opens the top flap of my shirt. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

My legs tremble, almost spasming from the bouts of current that his touch causes. Leaving my mouth his lips drop soft kisses on the side of my mouth, trailing down to my jaw and neck.

I try to contain my moans by biting down on my lower lip but fail. The cold shadows which bind my wrists are now covering my arms, gently holding me, like two additional hands, feeling me, my skin and I don’t know what else.

"Shhh! Sundust, you don’t want your friends to hear you. Do you now?" He teasingly asks, his lips now slowly moving to my exposed breasts. His cold breath hits my skin like the biting wind of January, and a bone-rattling shudder passes through me.

"Ahh! Hhhh!" I let out a ragged breath when his lips curl around the chain of my pendant and swish it aside over my shoulder.

Grabbing my waist, Rigel burrows his face between my breasts. His harsh tongue pokes out and licks the valley between them while his knee hardly tugs against my leaking softness.

My whole body seems to have been set on fire, a fire of passion which is deliciously burning me.

And then he opens his mouth and his fangs elongate and pierce the vein in my right breast, turning me into a mere bundle of nerves and my body into mush.
